The Rajput state that held out against Akbar’s rule until 1583 was Marwar.1
While many Rajput chiefs accepted Akbar’s suzerainty following the fall of Chitor in 1568 and the subsequent diplomatic efforts in 1570, Marwar maintained its independence for several years longer before finally submitting in 1583. It is important to note that while Marwar submitted in 1583, other states like Mewar continued their resistance against the Mughal Empire well into the reign of Akbar’s successor, Jahangir.123
